THE VALUE OF CONFEDERATE NOTES
DECIDED Wheeling, September 30.-1n
the United States Supreme Court for the
District of West Virginia Judge j. j. Jack
son delivered the opinion in one of the most
important cases on trial in this State. The
litigation grew out of sale of land in JEFF.
ferson county, Va, now in West Virginia,
in 1856 the purchase price being $41, 733. &C
The purchaser was Henry Castleman and
the vendor Hiram L. Opie. Of the purchase
money $4,000 was paid in cash and notes
were given for the remainder; two of $500
and the remaining six for $3,622, payable
in succession on January 1st of each year
from 1859 to 1864. Before the outbreak of
the war Opie removed to Augusta County,
Va, where he died in 1862. His widow was
appointed administrative and to her Castle
man paid the last four notes in Confederate
money. The heirs of Opie brought suit to
recover this, and today Judge jackson
granted their prayer, holding that the pay
ment of debts contracted within the United
States in Confederate money was fraudulent
and unlawful, and ordered decree for prin-
cipal, interest, and cost, amounting to $50,
600.
The reader will notice the qualifying
words CONTRACTED in the United States"
In other words, whilst a payment made in
Confederate money in Virginia or any other
seeded State was valid payment, a pay
ment made in West Virginia, which set uI
as loyal State in 1861, was not a valid
payment.-RichDrOnd Dispatch.

ATLAS INSURANCE AGENCY
STAUNTON, VA.

| A FEW ADVANTAGES OF INSURING IN
| THE ROYAL INSURANCE COMPANY.
Pays for damage done By Lightning aollether fire
| e7aSueS not
Pays for Live Stock killed 6y lightning IN JJetd
or elsewhere.
| The use of Steam Poaoer for 7Ytreshing is per
nlitted.
| The long record of fair- dealing is guaranty
| of full protection under its policy in case of
| loss The history of the Company's growth Is
| the best evidence of its sound management.
The large assets of the Company enables 1T to
issue policy requiring no watchfulness by Its
policy holders to ascertain the condition of the
Company.
The net surplus of d fire insurance company
is most significant ofits strength. THE Roy
AL INSURANCE COMPANY has the largest net
surplus of any fire insurance company In the
world.
The adjustment # fire losses is based upon
cash market prices pT vailing at the day OF
settlement The Royal Insurance Company
pays all claims as soon as adjust d, without
deduction or discount. This enables It's policy
holders TO reinstate themselves at the ADJUST
ment figures, and not be compelled to run the
risk of the fluctuations of the market for sixty
or ninety days. The importance of this feat
ure will commend the company TO Mercnants,
Farmers, Trustees Mortgages, Banking 1nsti-
tutions, and all having property to insure.
The Royal Insuranee Company is worlds
Company. 1t gains its average from the
worlds business. 1T Is not even forced to rely
upon the experience of the business OF CON
tinent. Its risks are scattered over the globe,
and this, with other features of its Organiza-
tion makes the Company absolutely indestruc-
| tible by great confiagrations. Its principle
is to localize Itself in every section. For
the protection of its policy holders the Royal
Insurance Company has
A CAPITAL OF TEN MILLION DOLLARS
NET SURPLUS OVER TEN MILLION DOL
LARS,
CASH ASSETS OVER THIRTY MILLION
DOLLARS,
And in addition TO the security otsered by
these vast resources, all of the stockholders OF

A Third;Prohibiticn Party.

The Allegheny Sentinel, edited by
member of the Independent Order of Good
Templars, in speaking of the Prohibition
party as third party at this time, says =
Gas it is we'll known that we are for the
abolition or abatement of the whiskey evil,
a few words explaining our position as to
this third party movement may not be in
appropriate. In the first place, we not be-
lieve the time has arrived in Virginia for
the movement made in Staunton last week.
To be more definite, we think just now the
most inaspicious time for the successful ex-
pertinent of making the temperance party
a political party, if it will erer become
such. Virginia politics are in complica-
ted condition. Dangers ofthe most appal-
ling character threaten the vitals of our
State government, and the minds of our
people are SO dlsordered by these things
that the introduction of new and per-
picking question may lead to defeat in
more directions than one, certainly defeat
of the temperance movement. Dlsco-ds
and disagreements already rife in the po-
litical world will sieze upon this new can
ddate and instead of solidifying temperance
workers we will see the present harmony
broken up.
Again, what Is Jno use vi DuIueulnB tne
party, as this convention has
done, with great long platform. The one
single issue, it seems to us, willbe sufficient
without attempting to split hairs over the
dogmas of other parties. To do this is to
go into the fight handicapped with perhaps
the most Objectionable features of both the
old parties.
We are connected with the strongest tenn
perance organization in the State, the Or
ganization. that is now doing and has done
more for the advancement of the temper
ance cause than all the other organizations
put together-the Independent Order of
Good.Templars, and to this organization we
are willing to commit the decision of the
of State party at this time,
and in the recent convention We notice the
absence of all the prominent Good Tenn
plars, showing plainly by this as by previ-
Gus utterance, opposition to the movement
inaugurated in Stannton. Far be it from
US, even 10 the most indirect way to, oppose
principles, but We deem our
opposition in this case word in defence of
these principles, to guard them against the
who having zeal without
will destroy the very thing
they seek to promote"

Look our ransom'd shores around,
Peace and safety we have found!
Welcome. friends, who once were foes
Welcome, friends. who once were foes i!
To all the conquering years have gain'd-
A nations rights, race unchain'dl
Children of the day new born.
Mindful of its glorious morn,
Let the pledge our fathers signed
Heart to heart forever bind!
While the stars of heav'n shall burn.
While the ocean tides return,
Ever may thecircling sun
Find the Many still are One.
Craven deep with edge of steel.
Crowned with victory's crimson seal,
All the world their names shall read,
All the world their names shall read,
Enrolled with h osts that led,
Whose blood for us-for all-was shed,
Pay our sires their children's debt.
Love and honor-not forget
Only Unions golden key
Guards the Ark of Liberty
While the stars ofheaven shall burn,
While the ocean tides return,
Ever may the ci-cling sun
Find the Many still are One.
Hail Columbia, strong and free,
Firm enthroned from sea to seal
Thy march triumphant still pursue!
Thy march triumphant still pursue
With peaceful stride from zone to zone.
And maze the Western land thine owni
Blest in the Unions holy ties.
Let our grateful songs arise
Every voice its tribute lend
In loving chorus blend!
While the stars in heav'n shall burn.

Ever shall the circling sun
Find the Many still are Onel

them such a market. Well. the farmers

worse off than they are now they don't re-
